Swalwell resigns over misconduct

The political career of Representative Eric Swalwell has collapsed abruptly following bombshell allegations of sexual misconduct from multiple women.

Swalwell, who was a leading contender for California governor, initially paused his campaign before confirming his total exit from the House of Representatives.

Accusers have provided detailed accounts to major news outlets, claiming the lawmaker used his position of power to harass them.

While Swalwell continues to deny the specific claims, his resignation marks a significant shift in the California political landscape and the composition of the House.
